The union has asked the league find a “suitable replacement” for Chao, according to NFLPA assistant executive director of external affairs George Atallah.

“(Chao) has a clear track record of misconduct,” NFLPA President Domonique Foxworth said. “It’s unfortunate for the guys who play there. It’s something that we can’t control, but we can definitely put pressure to improve. We’re trying now.

“I don’t know that it’s appropriate to talk about all the steps we’re taking, but the first step is that we’re making people aware.”

During the NFLPA press conference, Chao was the one doctor singled out by executive director DeMaurice Smith during a discussion of the union’s problems with medical care for players.

“There is a team doctor named Dr. Chao who is currently the San Diego team doctor,” Smith said, “who has been found liable of medical malpractice twice — twice. The same doctor was the subject of a DEA investigation. He’s still the San Diego Chargers team doctor.

“Now, I’m not a doctor. I don’t even play one on TV. But it seems to me that the players of the National Football League deserve to have a doctor who’s not been found liable of malpractice, and that’s within the last year.”

The Chargers did not respond, saying they were still gathering information.

Not surprised he was singled out, never could understand how a beautiful city like San Diego has a doctor like that as the Chargers physician. I know there are better options. What a disgrace to other honest, caring doctors who lose that trust now as a result of jerks like him.

Disgraceful. Probably the guy that let Dielman jump on a plane following a game in 2011 that he clearly suffered a major concussion in. Dielman has a seizure on the plane, and retires early because of it. Get this bum out of here.

My girl’s cartilage had worn away from years of her being a stud basketball player..we went to this quack because he was the Chargers team physician and said he could help her…he gave her these collagen shots into the knee..they were pretty expensive..and helped for about a month …after he said it was a permenant solution…what a quack!
